Honda Lane Keeping Assist Review

LKAS is designed to make driving more convenient by keeping your vehicle in the middle of the lane. Not to be confused with Lane Departure Warning, which also helps prevent accidents. LKAS keeps your Honda in the middle of the road and helps you avoid unintentionally crossing over lane markings and entering another lane.This system operation is easily and conveniently helps keep you aligned on the road.  If you begin to leave the center of a detected lane without signaling, the electric power steering adjusts to keep you centered.

How does this driver-assist technology work? A windshield-mounted camera is used to detect road markings and recognize any signs of drifting outside of your lane. Note, the system will not work if you take your hands off the wheel or otherwise stop steering the vehicle.

How do I use the Honda Lane Keeping Assist System?

The short answer on how to use the LKAS driver-assist feature is simple: just drive! By keeping your hands on the wheel and vehicle speeds between 45-90 mph, LKAS will make subtle adjustments to your steering to keep you in the detected lane if you begin to drift outside your current lane without signaling. It’s that easy.

How to Turn On LKAS

For models that include Honda Sensing as standard technology, LKAS doesn’t require any additional input from the driver. But you will want to have the system activated if it isn’t already. To do so, follow these quick steps to turn on Honda’s LKAS:

  • Press the MAIN button on the right side of your steering wheel.
  • Press the LKAS button.
  • Lane outlines will appear in the instrument panel to indicate the LKAS has been activated.
